Test before posting/sending: Would you say it to the person's face? If not, reword and reread.
2. Behave online as you do in real life
Standards of behavior may be different in some areas of cyberspace but they are not lower than in real life.

3. Know where you are in cyberspace
Look around in new domains, listen to the chat, read the archives, figure out how people already there act, then join in and participate.
4. Respect other people's time and bandwidth
Ensure the time people spend reading your information isn’t wasted. No spamming - widely posting junk mail.

5. Make yourself look good online
You will be judged on the quality of your writing -spelling and grammar do count. Don;t post flame-bait (don't use offensive language or be confrontational for the sake of confrontation).
6. Share expert knowledge
Post resource list and bibliographies in the area of your expertise. The Internet was created for sharing information - help make the world a better place.
7. Help keep flame wars under control
Flame wars (series of angry letters between two or three people) are forbidden.
Flaming - what people do when they express a strongly held emotion without holding back any emotion.
8. Respect other people's privacy
You wouldn't look through a classmate's documents/messages, don't look through personal e-mail.
9. Don't abuse your power
Knowing more than others, or having more power than they do, does not give you the right to take advantage of them

10. Be forgiving of other people's mistakes
Everyone was a beginner, network newbie, at some point. Pointing out netiquette violations are often examples of poor netiquette. Think twice before pointing out mistakes and do it privately and politely.
